A Gloriously Absurd Adventure
Trusted Friends,
Finally reporting back from Island Nation, I must confess that my absurdity neurosis has worsened. The bizarre forms of fanatical extremism here certainly rival anything back home! Each year on Good Hope Day, citizens record their hand size—yes, hand size!—to determine their rights under the whims of the tiny-handed supreme prime minister.
In this strange society, Puddin’ Head Schools primarily train students to battle their so-called enemies, the Sweeties, using methods I fear our delusional school board would envy. Here, I met Blaze Union, a fierce 14-year-old who bravely tried to improve her school. But after being expelled for playing guitar and soccer as a “Big,” she envisioned a much bolder mission, vowing to ignite a revolution and become the boss of Island Nation Schools!
Yet, as her movement gains momentum, chaos has erupted across the island. With resistance to her cause growing and shocking events unfolding in the nation’s schools, I find myself questioning the implications of her quest for change. The stakes are high, and I can’t reveal more without risking everything. For now, I can only watch in astonishment as Blaze’s ambitions clash with the turbulence around her. As Blaze says:
Spoons up!
